Eyelash extensions from Bling Lash typically last 4 to 6 weeks. With proper maintenance and regular refills, they can appear to last almost indefinitely.
Because extensions are bonded to your natural lashes, shedding is completely normal. As your natural lashes reach the end of their growth cycle, the attached extensions will shed with them.
To maintain a full, consistent look, Bling Lash and most professional lash artists recommend scheduling a refill every 2 to 3 weeks.
Eyelash Extension Maintenance Guidelines
How closely you follow aftercare instructions has a direct impact on retention, appearance, and lash health.
Aftercare & Daily Habits
| Timeframe | Action / Restriction |
|---|---|
| First 24–48 Hours | Avoid water, steam, and heat. The adhesive needs time to fully cure. Skip the gym, sauna, swimming, and hot showers. |
| Daily Care | Gently brush your lashes with a clean spoolie to prevent tangling and keep extensions properly aligned. |
| Skincare Products | Use oil-free skincare and makeup. Oils break down lash adhesive and cause extensions to loosen prematurely. |
| Makeup & Tools | Avoid mascara (especially waterproof formulas) and mechanical lash curlers, as they can damage both extensions and adhesive bonds. |
Why Do Eyelash Extensions Fall Out?
Shedding is normal and does not mean your lashes were applied incorrectly. Common reasons include:
Natural Lash Growth Cycle
You naturally lose 1–5 lashes per day. When a natural lash sheds, the extension attached to it will fall out as well.
Sleeping Habits
Sleeping on your stomach or side can create friction, causing lashes to twist or pull out. Switching to a silk or satin pillowcase helps reduce friction and improves retention.
Lifestyle Factors
Frequent swimming in chlorinated pools, heavy sweating, or high humidity environments can gradually weaken adhesive bonds. Rinsing lashes with clean water and gently drying them afterward helps maintain longevity.
